  One of my big selling points is that we do not apply any pressure and warn cusatomers of the dangers of it.  So they obviously want to know whats in the sauce.   I try to keep the answer to a minumum but I do say its chlorine based.  If I say sodium hypochlorite they just look at me sideways and Im not sure if that scares them more.  I've been getting a few phone calls from guys trying to pry information so I dont want to reveal any more than I have to... to anyone.  How should we be answering this question?

Thanks Chris. But do you really think you can get away with selling someone a job and having no idea what your spraying?

Hopefully I wont ever have to rely on my dish or laundry soap to remediate black mold, moss, lichen, or algae form my clothes or dishes.

I'm not sure it is a good idea, but I've given customers and potential customers a copy of the ARMA bulletin.  It says what they recommend for cleaning a roof and SH is mentioned.

Huver cover, you know the thing AC uses for cement. We call it a "surface cleaner".

 If you have the same bulletin I have, I no longer use it because it says "bleach", not SH.  If it actually said "SH" I'd be more apt to using it.  The word bleach kind of cheapens the process.

Confidence, nor selling is any problem of mine. Lets be serious, if a smart customer says whats in it, you say "roof soap". They say "whats in the roof soap?" You say "soap". They say "whats in the soap?" You say, "soap". they say "well whats in it?" and again you say "soap". Then they say "Wow what confidence you have. You got the job!"
